I am interested in having an application to display some gif files where the user can select from a list the image to display. For that I am basically using ImageIcon. The application basically works fine but When I overlap other window or I scroll down (or up) and then go back to the applet the image is not conserved. In other words, if I select an image different than the firstone and open another window and go back, the applet will display the fist image loaded. For a "working" minimal appler you can go to http://shadow.eas.gatech.edu/~choyos/Minimal/
